A fantastic holiday at a great hotel
An excellent hotel! From check-in to check-out, we couldn't fault this place. The junior suites were superb; clean and spacious with good amenities. Air conditioning in the rooms kept them at a perfect temperature for after a day in the sun. Pools were lovely, again kept nice and clean, with activities throughout the day to keep the kids entertained. Music played throughout the day at the pools but not at an overly high volume. Plenty of sun loungers, we never struggled to find some even when going later to the pool. Staff were fantastic, approachable and courteous at all times and happy to help out. A lovely beach just across the road made this a perfect location. Food was lovely throughout the stay with a barbeque on one night at the poolside restaurant. We had a brilliant time and would recommend this place to anyone!

Disappointing Experience Despite High Expectations
We have stayed at other Occidental properties in the past and have always had good experiences. Unfortunately, the photos on the website looked amazing, so we didn’t hesitate to book. However, upon arrival, the reception area did not feel welcoming, and the resort itself was not at all what we expected.
We also didn’t realize this property would cater primarily to families with young children, which may be important for other travelers to know.
In summary, if you are an experienced traveler who has stayed at higher-end resorts, you may find this property disappointing. Our expectations were high, and unfortunately, the resort did not meet them.
Great stay for two families with kids
Great hotel. Lovely atmosphere. Food is fab, as good as it gets for all inclusive. Pools are good. On the beach with access to fun water activities. A bit out from the main centre's of Torromolinos and Benalmadena but good public transport in the vicinity, particularly the train which stops at the back of the hotel. All in all we have had a great stay with family and couldn't really fault the place at all.

Fantastic Stay at Occidental Torremolinos
We had a really enjoyable stay at Occidental Torremolinos. We upgraded to All Inclusive on arrival, which was definitely well worth doing. One of the biggest highlights was the hotel's close proximity to the beach. With it being a struggle to get sun loungers around either of the hotel pools, having the beach so close gave us a great alternative. The food was good, with plenty of variety, so there was always something different to choose from. The pool bar was fantastic and was a great place to grab drinks and relax during the day. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend!

Not what 4-star hotels should aspire to be...
Our stay at Occidental Torremolinos began with a disappointing arrival experience. Due to delays at Malaga Airport, we did not arrive until around 10:00pm local time with two young, tired and hungry children. In previous hotels we have visited under similar circumstances, staff have often gone out of their way to ensure families were looked after, sometimes providing snacks or offering room service options. Unfortunately, this was not our experience here.
Rather than focusing on our immediate needs, the reception team repeatedly attempted to upsell us to a different room category. It was only after firmly declining several times that we were finally provided with our room keys.
Throughout our stay, we found the service in both the poolside and evening bars to be consistently below expectations. On several occasions, staff appeared uninterested or dismissive, with one instance where I was seemingly ignored while waiting to be served. On another occasion, I was asked to move to a different area of an otherwise empty bar before being served, and the interaction felt unnecessarily abrupt. Unfortunately, these repeated experiences left us feeling unwelcome.
It is important to recognise that the hotel itself is visually impressive. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and both the housekeeping and groundskeeping teams were consistently friendly, professional and deserving of praise. The facilities and appearance of the hotel create a positive first impression.
However, the quality of day-to-day customer service did not match the standard suggested by the hotel's surroundings. While the property itself has much to offer, our overall experience was significantly impacted by the attitude and service levels of several front-facing staff members.
Regrettably, based on our experience, I would not recommend this hotel.
